Summary

This week's Deadpod features a fine second set from the band's return to the stage in 1976. I really like how they have changed up the set list here, and they start out with the debut performance of Samson and Delilah.

A nice, very new Crazy Fingers goes into a haunting Wharf Rat. Let It Grow follows and this second set spot suits the song in that the musicians have a chance to explore some new ground here. Roses comes out of drums and then (!) Around and Around. For me the highlight of this set follows, a slower more precise perhaps, Help->Slip->Frank.. the jamming on this one is superb and its so easy to get lost in.. Saturday night ends the set and they return for an unusual Wheel encore..

0:22.0	The second set's quite good. It starts out with the
0:25.1	Premier, the very first live version of Samson and Delilah. Then goes into a
0:29.2	very dreamy crazy fingers into a nice slow wharf wrap very nicely done then let it grow it must have been the roses around and around
0:41.0	Notice how unusual this the placement of these songs in the second set is, especially that let it grow.
0:47.0	I think it really sounds great in the second set in this set anyway. Roses are always a favorite of mine. After
0:55.2	the round and round they do probably the highlight of the second set which is a
0:58.3	very unusual help slip frank. I think you'll hear that it's very different sounding than the speedier versions that

1:11.7	quite interesting.
1:13.0	They then go into one more Saturday night and the encore, a kind of unusual version of the wheel,
